Found this thread when I was about to post the same issue.
I have a Runcore 32gig that I just put in a Mini10. Windows 7 hangs on the screen Where do you want to install Windows, then comes back with the error 0x80300025.

Any thoughts on whats up?
I have done a acronis copy of the original drive to the Runcore (windows XP) and it works just fine. I am trying to install Windows 7 from an external DVD drive.

Where did you get the Windows 7 DVD? Is it a "retail" DVD or one that was OEM for some other brand/model of PC?

It is a retail DVD.

Sorry I didnt have email notification on and didnt notice anyone replied.
I got Windows 7 to install on the hard drive that came with the mini 10 by starting setup within windows xp.

Now I can't get Verizon card or the TV tuner working. Dell shows drivers for both, but they don't seem to work.
I have ! next to 4 Data Interface and ! next to Dell Digital TV.
Any thoughts on that?

You didn't manage to install Windows 7 on the SSD?

I've managed to install win 7 on the harddrive that came with the mini, but not my newly purchased SSD.

No i never got windows 7 to work on the new Runcore ssd.
I installed Windows 7 on the SSD that came with my Dell Mini 1010. Then I tried cloning it to my Runcore. The machine wouldn't load windows after that. It would do a checkdsk, then just sit a black screen doing nothing.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I've tried to do a fresh windows 7 install. I've tried to upgrade from Vista and I've tried to do a harddrive clone from the harddrive that came with the mini. Without success. I used Acronis True Image to clone the harddrive, that went good. But when it booted from my Intel SSD it couldn't get passed the login-screen.
